MOORIM SCHOOL - EPISODE 11
Found another one. :)
Unable to convince her father to let her attend Murim, Soon Duk leaves anyway, accompanied by Si Woo. We find out why her father is blind, though: his eyes were slashed by agents of the Juk Poong cult after he rescued a child from the fire set by them.
The day of the tournament approaches, and the principal brings in sunbae Tae Ho to help them train. Tae Ho, fighter extraordinaire, was in the advanced class all four years, the one who abandoned his title as successor. He points out the pupils' weaknesses and teaches lessons in integrity. In turn, the students find out more about themselves, what they will and won't do to win. Si Woo, determined to explore the mysterious power within him, cultivates Gi Chae Sool, a rare and difficult power to master. He tries unsuccessfully to hold off Soon Duk with the power, but Chi Ang forces the issue when he aims a punch straight at our displaced idol, and shimmering energy surrounds the heir's arm...
I don't think "party all night and pass out anywhere" is in the school curriculum...
Now we're getting somewhere. I've wanted to find out more about that power since the first episode, and now we finally get a glimpse of it. It'll be interesting to see what he can do with it in more scenes. I have a feeling it'll be a lot more useful than simply being a shield. It sounds like Gi Chae Sool is tangentially related to "chi," the energy running through the body that some martial arts masters claim to have harnessed.
This episode further highlights the differences between Si Woo and Chi Ang, and, thankfully, gives a little more dimension to the whole "I will crush you for taking my girl" schtick that Chi Ang is milking. Sunbae highlights that he's not interested in victory at any cost -- despite what he says, he won't fight a worn down Sun Ah. Which is nice, because the writers could have simply written him as amoral. None of the students wanted victory that way, and even Yeob Jung was struggling with that.
? "Stop it, I'm holding it, because you say no..." ?
Si Woo is almost Chi Ang's polar opposite, he doesn't want to hurt anyone, much less the girl he's into or Chi Ang. Developing that power is a great way to win without hurting anyone else, and it will likely fix his hearing problem at the same time. But the point of the tournament is not to win, as sunbae says. I know that Si Woo has developed as a human being, caring about something beyond himself. And I think that's part of the point.
They finally picked up the pace again. I was a little worried about it last episode, since they felt they had to explain things. I don't blame the show so much as the network for shrinking the number of episodes. That's bound to make for some awkward story transitions. Still, I'm still here. This show gets really fun by turns, and I like the acting. See ya next time!
